Technical FAQs 4

How does the solar panel angle calculator work?

Our solar panel angle calculator takes the guesswork out of panel positioning, suggesting panel tilt angles based on your location's latitude and your willingness to reposition based on the sun's seasonal dance across the sky. Start by entering your location in the search box.

What angle should a dual sun solar panel be installed on?

With the DualSun PV- T panels, which produce both electricity and hot water, the optimal angle is the same as for PV panels. Example: For a DualSun installation in Marseille, we recommend a 4-panel design for a family of 4. The best angle for that is maximum sunshine (37 °). Some panels are installed on the façade of a building.

What is the best angle for a solar panel?

The solar panel’s best angle depends on your latitude, season, and energy needs. For most homeowners, setting panels at their latitude tilt offers excellent year-round results. For those who want maximum optimization, seasonal adjustments or tracking systems are the way forward.

How important is angle & orientation when installing solar panels?

When it comes to installing solar panels, angle and orientation are just as important as the panels themselves. The solar panel’s best angle determines how much sunlight your panels capture throughout the year, directly impacting energy production and ROI.
